8/10...I was there listening to those countdowns on New Year's! Mis-remembered a couple...Barbara and Wings. Well we did have enough of those Silly Love Songs after a while.
Music and hugs are two things I NEED in my life to stay healthy and happy❣️I need them to survive, along with O2, H2O, and nourishment. Each having equal importance to me.
Probably my WORST quiz results ever - 6 of 10.
But during my poor college years, I did not own a radio or record player!

5 for 10! LOL Never was a big fan of "pop" music, but I know that I've heard all of those songs at least a bazillion times. Yawn...
Side Note: Rod Stewart's "Tonight's The Night"....it never worked out to be "the" night for me! Had to wait until the '80s for that to happen! LOLOL

Got 10/10, listened to the radio constantly from 1970-79, especially when I was stationed overseas w/the military for 2 years, no American TV, so everyone listen to Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS), which played the Top 40. Great 70s memories!
I only got half of them, but they were all good songs so it was hard to pick the best one. However, it was JOHN Denver who sang "Take Me Home, Country Roads", not Gilligan!
